Birth Control
Alright, im 17 years old, and a female. I want to go on the pill...Ive had the same boyfreind for two years and we have had sex. Though we are careful and we use a condom everytime, i would feel better if i was on the pill. however, my mom doesnt think that i should go on the pill, or at least she doesnt want me to until im older. i also want it to help with my period, which is always insane to deal with and its 7 days long every 25 days.
is there any way that i can get birth control without my parents ever knowing?

Planned Parenthood can supply birth control, but you have to have a yearly exam with them. I believe it runs about $100 for the exam and you will pay around $30 a month for the pills themselves. At least that is how it is set up in Wisconsin. The only way you can get birth control for free is if you go through an insurance company. In that instance, you will need your parents assistance.
I would suggest going to your mom about birth control using the argument that you want to regulate your period. Tell her you have really bad PMS symptoms or something (true or not) that way she'll feel more obligated to take you to get some BC.

If there is a Planned Parenthood in your area (or similar women's clinic) they can give you pelvic exams, std screening, condoms, and birth control for free or very very low cost. They will not contact your parents at all.

Yes. So long as you pay for the doctor's visit and the monthly prescription out of your own pocket.
But is it worth hiding this behind your mom's back? What if she finds your prescription? She will surely be fuming mad.
You need to be honest with your mom. Does she know you are sexually active? If not, I'd tell her. I'm sure she would rather you go on the pill now and wait until you are older for kids.
